WHY POEMS ONLY FOR POETS?

---

First of all, let me make this a clear mark for you. ‘Poems for Poets’ is no doubt a poetry tome for poets because everyone according to me is a poet in one or the other field.

Robert Frost says-

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

Now you may think I am joking but this is a fact. No one in this Universe can perceive stuff as beautifully as you can! ‘Poems for Poets’ will give you a momentum in this direction!

Nevertheless, poetry writing has always been my passion and a successful poet is one who can understand his/her reader’s taste, blend it with that of his own and finally dress it up in an auspicious attire of fragments and words!

Have a fruitful reading.

POEMS FOR POETS

When Survival Became a Question Mark

(Published by Guwahati Grand Poetry Festival)

––––––––

No one can discern

The terror I encountered

When only a couple

Of my soul years

Went for coffee.

My survival

Became a question mark...

I ran hitherto

From left to top

From top to bottom

And bottom to right

Lacking to pinpoint

When appreciation

Was a far cry;

Toys were a distant sorrow

And ladder of Survival

Grew a gazillion feet lankier,

My procreators were lost...

Or was I lost?

No one knew me

Neither did I know one

All nooks grew tragic

And all fringes were

Pressed by winter's seclusion

Hopeless penniless I fell

Down to my mother Earth

Mother!! Will I....

Will I survive? (2)

When a whisper came

From somewhere

Alongside the breeze

Yes...

Who Will Apprehend?

Who will apprehend

The ideas of a novice nonplus

Who has no stage to
